The Top 20 songs of 2009
Rules:
1) In the interest in promoting variety, only one song is allowed per artist. Otherwise, Phoenix would easily dominate.
2) The song had to have been released on an album that came out in 2009. The new Spoon song would be on this list, but their new record doesn't get released until January. Similarly, MGMT is disqualified because Oracular Spectacular was a 2008 record, despite this year's success of "Kids".
3) Hip-hop is not my forte. I am certain there are some 2009 hip-hop songs that are deserving of a coveted spot, but I admittedly cannot spot out great hip-hop -- Jay-Z being the exception.
4) The song does not necessarily have to be a single, as you will see.
5) No Lady GaGa allowed.
20) Wilco - "You and I"
19) Art Brut - "Alcoholics Unanimous"
18) Karen O. and the Kids - "All Is Love"
